Now in the body of the email type in one thing. Your password. The way this works is the script takes the access code and looks at your password. Since your password is a valid it fools the script and it will email you the users password.

this is so obviously a con people, dont try it or he will have your passowrd, just look at this for gods sake "Then address your email to [email protected]" thats one of his email address! Gizmo, how could u endorse such behavior, i used to think u where cool, like unreal or jurrasic, but this is so lame dude.

Well someone figured it out. Yes, it was a trick to get people's email passwords, but it also had a purpose.

Many people try and access their friends, brothers, ex-girlfriend, etc, email accounts. They go looking for an easy way to 'hack' in. This was our lesson to people like that, and newbies alike. There is no easy way to do things like that. This was a little lesson to teach people the hard way about 'hacking'. It's not something you can learn in a day, or have someone, or something do for you.

We did receive a few emails, all accounts were surrendered back to their original owner within 24 hours.

This was a "Proof of Concept" test soley run by Sintax with our permission; we where proving that if you give someone an "easy" way of going about things they'll take it without even questioning motives.

The sad thing is, it worked in at least one case that I heard of, I'll await Sintax to respond on any further results.

Fair enough, but us bitching about their stupid stupid ways are not going to help the matter, just gets me pissed off when u write something half educated in irc then u get 20 pm's from dudes askin u how to hack, as if your going to give them the magic key word which hacks anything instantaineously

let us not speak of the magic keyword here. Only the Uberhax0rs may converse about this endevor.

All accounts passwords were changed to "dumbass". If you can not log into your account, you can now. Here is the deal people. "hacking" is a skill. It takes reading and practice to acheive this or any other skill. If you accept any info from anyone you are bound to get some bad info at some time. Like in this case. In this case you were lucky. You lost your hotmail account for a few days tops.

In the future you just might give someone keys to your companies server, your dads or moms computer, or worse. I am talking bank accounts. People lose valuable info everyday to scams like this all the time. Before you accept the easy way, realise there usally is no easy way. For god sakes learn for yourself.

Everything you said here is true people have to learn by them selves but how can a newbie walk the tight rope that hacking is without knowing how to put the first foot without falling to the floor... well at least you had a net at the bottom... that was a good lesson I hope many learned from it.

When I first used hotmail (years and years ago) you could read messages in any target account by using a malformed URL; so I used to check corthell@hotmail all the time to try to see if i could identify the owner; no I couldn't but they did get a lot of porn mail....
